Property Description
Hanalei Bay Resort is a 5 Star Resort and is widely regarded as one of the nicest places to stay on Kauai. 8232 is ideally situated on the 'point' of this 22 acre Resort giving you spectacular views! This 1 bedroom suite w/loft has some of the best views in all of Kauai. Unobstructed views of Bali Hai, Hanalei Bay, the Pacific Ocean, and panoramic 180 degree views of 4000 ft. mountains laced with waterfalls are yours when you look out or step out onto the private lanai. One of the rare unobstructed views left on Kauai. From the lanai you overlook a protected bird sanctuary while watching and listening to the white water surf of Hanalei Bay.
This 1 Bedroom condo also has a separate lockoff/hotel style room (8231)with a King Size Tropical Canopy Bed with a full Master Bath and private Lanai that sleeps 2 for added flexibility and budget. WHEN INQUIRING, PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHICH CONFIRURATION YOU ARE INTERESTED IN. 8231 sleeps 2, 8232 sleeps 4, 8231/32 sleeps 6. THIS CALENDAR IS FOR THE 1 BEDROOM SUITE, 8232 ONLY.
This condo is a top floor unit, which gives you better views, improved security, vaulted ceilings for a much larger feel, and you don't have the noise of people above you. However, this is one of the few 2 story buildings on the property; most are 3 stories, so you don't have to climb 2 sets of stairs every time you enter or leave. There are only 6 steps to reach the front door.
Furnished in authentic Pacific-style with Hawaiiana and Polynesian antiques from around the world - including China, Thailand, the Philippines, Bali, and Burma - this beautiful condo has an amazing collection of old Hawaii touches. The spacious interior is not only elegant, but interesting and relaxing. Completely renovated by a well known designer from New York, you will find elegant white tiled floors throughout. Tropical fans give the condo a spacious and elegant feel. The bedroom has a romantic king sized canopy bed and the oversized loft has a pair of Mahogany twin beds, allowing the condo to sleep 4 people in beds. We also have air mattresses if necessary for up to a total of 6 people. Your private lanai has teak furniture that came from the Four Seasons Maui, and the condo has a complete kitchen for cooking meals when you're not dining at one of the fine local restaurants. The bedroom has its own flat screen TV with DVD and the entire unit has wireless internet access. A washer and dryer are also in 8232 (one bedroom suite).There is a daily resort fee of $25 per night, parking fees of $20 per night, and a 1 time check in fee of $50. This is paid directly to the Resort when you check out.

Wanted an authentic Hawaiin getaway and this place did not disappoint. With rainbows, waterfalls, sea turtles, dolphins and more. This place at HBR was absolutely gorgeous. Just an incredible experience. A very special place. Mahalo!

We are a family of four, with two teenagers. The loft upstairs was a perfect space for them to sleep and to have their own area. The views will be missed, great space for living and dining areas. What was also a nice surprise midweek, was a delivery of fresh bedsheets and towels.

I don’t know how to describe this place other than “dreamy” and I know it sounds cliche, but that is the feeling my family and I felt upon arriving at unit 8232. We thought that by splitting our time up between the north and south shores on Kauai would be a good experience for everyone to see all of the island but if it were up to me, I would have just stayed put at this beautiful location. Every morning that we woke up, my wife and I would have coffee on the lanai and take in the serene beauty of our view of Hanalei Bay and Bali Hai. It just seemed like a dream looking out at the perfection of creation like that, that we would ask each other if we were in fact in a dream. My daughter and niece felt the same way and we all agree that it is now the best place with a view to die for that we have ever stayed before! The hosts place was very clean, very accommodating and very relaxing and we enjoyed it soooo much! The interior had a really nice Polynesian atmosphere with Japanese influences and it made the stay feel all the more immersing with the surrounding beauty. Thank you Steve for such a wonderful experience. We will be back!Brandon

This was our third stay in this condo. In 2007, 2017 and now 2025. it’s a wonderful place. Clean, comfortable and the views can’t be beat. There are gas grills on the property and the kitchen is fully stocked. New appliances although I never figured out how to use the dishwasher, my fault. There was a problem getting the bedroom tv going but the owner and the resort both responded immediately. All in all, a great vacation stay.

Excellent one bedroom unit with full kitchen, and loft with two other beds if traveling with children or teenagers. Lovely decor. Unit was equipped with everything you’d want. Loved the unobstructed view, privacy, and the property. Would highly recommend!

We stayed for 8 nights in November. Upon checking in with the resort front desk we were informed the building would be having a new roof installed during our stay & that there was nothing that could be done. We followed up again in the days to follow and they once again just reiterated they were “sorry”. The resort was, per the VRBO instructions who we were supposed to interact with. We received a letter from the resort reiterating nothing could be done & work was scheduled well in advance. The property owner failed to disclose this. Our experience included nails failing from the ceiling, dirt and debris falling from the ceiling and it was so exhausting/frustrating we checked out two days early. Imagine this all with a 1 year old trying to nap. The host only refunded us for those final two nights, which was disappointing given what was a truly absurd situation. My learning, stay away, go get a nice hotel with a kitchenette next time.

The property was great.. Great view and very peaceful. We had wonderful time exploring the island. Very convenient to the majority of the island. I would say the bathroom needs some remodeling otherwise the property was perfect for our us. We would stay there again.

When we arrived to the condo there was a very strong musty smell even though the condo appeared very clean. We discovered the wall behind the master bed was full of water damage from about halfway up the wall down to the floor. The wall was soft and peeling with black discoloration behind the paint. We notified Steve immediately and provided photos of the damage. The manager of Hanalei Bay came out to look at the wall and confirmed it was a wall drain that was leaking.
Because this is a private rental the resort can not move you to a new unit if anything like this happens. Steve was quick to send an extra pair of sheets for the air mattress but was not responsive after that and was not open to any reimbursement. We were unable to use the master bedroom due to the water damage and had to sleep on an air mattress in the living room. Both my husband and I ended up getting sick in this unit.
The manager said he was very surprised the water damage had not been reported already. Hopefully Steve will take care of this issue as quickly as possible. Until it is fixed, I would avoid this unit.

This was such an amazing place. The view of the mountains and ocean were spectacular and the loft was such a great addition for the kiddos!
We would definitely stay here again.

This property is even more beautiful in person. Everything about the condo was accurately portrayed. It had everything we needed and then some. It’s spacious, designed well and clean. There was plenty of beach gear to use as well. The views from this place are unmatched. I also loved that the property was part of a resort with access to restaurants and a nice pool. The beach was shared with the 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay so felt like a little private beach. The only downside to this place is the steep walk up and down to the beach. This was not a big deal for us. Also, they have a golf cart you can call to take you to and from the beach. I say book without reservation! I would definitely stay here again.
